Marvellous medicine in the form of a squinkwhizzsnotling day out

I (Lol) went to the Roald Dahl museum the other day, and have been telling anyone who'll listen how amazing it was, and how it's very much not just for children. It's for big kids of all ages, and indeed anyone who just wants to feel a little more creative. I recommend it to anyone if they're having trouble cracking a brief one day - It's only half an hour or so from marylebone. You can sit in the bizarre armchair Roald used to sit in in his shed for weeks on end, and you can explore all about how he got his inspiration. Best of all was this bit, where you can make up your own Dahl-speak words. I'll leave you to guess the meaning of mine...

Is it the new term for 'nosejangle'?

  August 7, 2008

No. And it's not the new term for Nose Ningle either. Only sensible suggestions, please.

Is it an energetic but annoying child?

Squinkwhizzsnotling\, noun:

Term used to describe the moment when a young child with the hyperactive strain of ADHD has become overexcited on holiday in the back of a family car. Specifically, it's the moment when the child's excitement has caused a slight short circuit in their nasal passages, resulting in the sudden outburst of a snot bubble.

Nice. I just had a squinkwhizzsnotling myself when I realised how close I was.
